There’s a really great article on carwow.co.uk outlining loads of important stuff that drivers should know about cyclist’s rights. Be sure to share it as much as possible because the more drivers that read it the safer the roads will be for us.

My favourite line from it is “It’s your responsibility to avoid hitting the cyclist, not the responsibility of the cyclist to avoid getting hit by you.” This is something that a helluva lot of drivers need drummed into them!

The Foot Down is a bike riding blog based in Helsinki, Finland and written by Ty.

Launched in the UK back in 2009 to document the emerging fixed gear scene, the site has spun its way up some great hills and mashed down some dead ends. These days I mostly shred fixed but can be caught freewheelin' sometimes too.
